Liverpool brought the Egyptian to Anfield from Roma in the summer, for a fee believed to be in the region of £34 million, and the 25-year-old has begun his career on Merseyside in scintillating fashion, scoring 17 goals in 21 outings for Jürgen Klopp's men.

The 22-year-old plays predominantly as a wide right attacker, and has a release clause inserted in his current deal with Sporting believed to be in the region of £53.5 million.

In an ideal world, Liverpool would keep hold of Salah, and bring Martins to the club, but whether Klopp will be given the financial backing to secure the signing of the Portuguese ace remains to be seen.
